No title page?
Good imagery in the first paragraph.
"The camera dollies in to her neck and passed her out to the
blue sky above." This sentence seems a bit broken.
A LOT of camera directions just on the first page. Those tend to get a bit distracting for some people.
On the second page, everytime Antony speaks there is "..." which seems to interrupt the flow. Maybe add a parenthetical. As is, it seems that Antony has a speech problem.
Page three, when Antony speaks there needs to be a V.O.
It also seems that you are missing a lot of periods at the end of your sentences.
"CLOSE UP. NAKED COUPLE POST-COPITAL - DAY"
This cannot be a slug. Naked people are not a place.
I am a bit confused. This reminds me of Memento, with the memories and the non-linearity of it. I liked it overall, you have a very set taste and style you are going for and it helped me imagine it as you did (I think). However, I did not quite understand the purpose of the client.
Perhaps you could enlighten me? :)

I would really like to produce this film for the purpose of entering it in festivals, but I am having a hard time contacting the author. A little help?

Whether it is good or not, no clue.
